Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
dubwize James Franco delivers a strong performance in this TV series that grips the viewer into 60's Americana life. The story becomes interesting the more the primary character mingles with the lives of those in the past.A definitive story about time travel and it's infinite possibilities and the complications of a story of a man out of place with explosive secrets, trying hard to right the wrongs of the past. I found this impossible to stop watching once I started, and that's a very good sign of captivating television worth watching. Curiously, the FBI/CiA collusion within the story is a hat tip to the truth and about the only connection to reality. Oswald, though historically was absolutely a patsy, this show casts him as an unhinged gun nut Marxist Communist with a Govt agent handler, and a penchant for going troppo in the FBi field agent office. Nice twists on reality and paradox concepts throughout however. Despite it's small flaws this is brilliant viewing that makes me want more.{ edit - } After watching the final Episode 8 in the series, I changed my 8 star rating to ten. Despite the plot being oblivious to points of reality ie: 1) Secret Service told to stand away from the Limousine, 2) George Herbert Walker Bush as the head of the CIA involvement, 3) The next President having been pre- prepared to be sworn in 4) and at least 3 bullets fired at JFK, the many twists in the final forced a re-rating from my observations. Incredibly imaginative concepts, with amazing cinematography deserved to be applauded. Wonderful story, well told and despite being different from the book stands by itself for many reasons. Imaginative and creative being but two. The talents of Joe Henderson stands out, JJ Abrams stands out and James Franco DEFINITELY stands out... All the cast and crew deserve mention
ashb1053 I just finished listening to the book last week and was excited to watch the series. I was thinking that since it was 8 episodes they could follow the book 100%, WRONG. My first question was why did it start in 1960, what happened to the other 2 years? I hate how Bill is with him. It was interesting that George/Jake was alone 8n all of it. Adding Bill was like adding an anchor. Sadie and Jake jumped into bed to fast. I enjoyed them taking it slow and her opening up about her past and the broom. Too many "why's, what happened to, etc." I understand it's a long book and you can't compress it all but with 8 episodes it should've been damn near it. I feel as if I'm watching a sequel to a book I never read. Thay always say the book is better and in this case it was. I think I need to listen to the book again to remember why I fell in love with it because right now I feel like I'm in another book.
harshalagrawal03 So, I just finished watching this series. And, as with most of the series, I binge watched it. The plot was okay, but the thing that I liked most about this series is, that the ending and the plot was all very well threaded. The result being you don't encounter any plot holes which happens a lot with other time travel shows.Jumping right into the story. An English teacher goes back in time to save president JFK as the person who sends him (a war veteran) believe that everything will be better if JFK is saved. Major spoilers ahead about the time travel rules: He can only go back in time on a particular moment in 1960. And when he goes and comes back, whatever he do will be reflected in his time period. However there is a catch, if he goes back again, everything he has done in his previous visit will be reset. This one small rule is the key difference b/w this time travel series and others out there (which can't keep their plots straight). Also, because the event he wants to stop is in 3 years ahead of his jump. You will see, his one jump spread over the full series, instead of a lot jumps and tries.What this TV series is not - a cat and mouse chase, or a very thrilling series, with a lot of life and death situations. But a calculated and somewhat boring layout by our hero to save JFK. You will definitely think of a better way to do the things that he would be doing in the series, so you might get frustrated. But all in all, the acting, hard choices situation and an overall different way (than most series) of handling situations by our hero will keep you entertained.http://www.imdb.com/user/ur21352722/?ref_=nv_usr_prof_2
Alan Jobb I understand when minor changes to stories need to be made, but this was so untrue to the original book you wonder if the people making it even liked the original source material. It looks great, the actors are great - but it is a complete departure from the book that made me interested in the show in the first place.
